Biergarten

[susanh]

I have a 3pm ADR for Biergarten. Lunch ends at 3:10 and dinner starts at 4pm. Will the lunch buffet still be refilled at 3:00 or will they stop bringing out fresh food? Should I make the ADR for earlier (2:30 or 2:45) or later? I plan to see the 3:20 show.

I can't answer the question about refilling, but I would assume with a 3:20 show they would keep refilling - it's obviously not like they kick everyone out at 3:10.

That said, in my one experience eating there so far, we were there the appointed 15 minutes before ADR time (for dinner), but it was still 15-20 minutes after the ADR time we were buzzed and seated. So if seeing the "show" is important to you, I would make it earlier because you may not be seated and settled by 3:20.

Keep your seating and relax. Yes, the lunch and the dinner seatings are "segregated" by the times but the only difference is the price of the buffet of your reservation time. Even if you are seated "late", make sure you tell your server that you are on the lunch time. After that, just sit back and enjoy yourself as nothing, and I mean, nothing, will be diminished in any way. The band will be great, the servers will still be there, the food does not disappear.

As Disney table service changes from breakfast to lunch or lunch to dinner, there is no disruption in anything.
